| Nature of North Korea blast unclear |
| 2004-09-12 |
| A diplomatic source here said a huge explosion reported to have occurred in North Korea appears not to be a nuclear weapons test, but said it remains unclear whether it was a natural disaster or an accident. Another source raised the possibility of a forest fire, citing huge clouds of smoke, and added that there is a rumor that the explosion occurred near the Demilitarized Zone, not the northernmost province of Yanggang as reported. |

| #1 It's perfectly clear, The US must "detente" the status of South Korea, to check the North. This calls for a Battle Group in the area as a show of resolve! |
